One of the things I love about my work is the opportunity that its affords me to meet most amazing people from different walks of life. On Saturday I had a meeting with this young beautiful couple, they getting married next weekend. It was not my first time meeting them, but yesterday I got a chance to get to know them better. They are both so sweet and very humble, and yes they are born again Christians. They  like friends, when are always giggling to each other... which I thought was very cute.     So what special about them, when people are about to get married there are always pressures that expose the true colours of both parties, but to see people holding on together without blaming each other, but just making sure that whatever that needs to be achieved is achieved, it says a lot about the future of the couple.   It is real beautiful for me to see two people loving each other, I know some people have given up on love, but I don't want lie, to me, Love is one of the

Long time no writing.... Yes its real been a long time since I had taken time to write, yes I was not always busy, but artists know that we don't always have something to say or to write about... but today I mean yesterday the 22nd, I woke up with this drive in my heart, a day ago  I  received a request for a quotation for a an under the sea theme décor, I remember after talking to this client who wanted this, I laughed my lungs out knowing that there was no way I could do the under the sea theme. He sent me the picture of the décor he wanted, I looked at it and it looked like a photo shop edited picture, which gave me an impression that what he wants might not be necessarily possible to achieve. So I decided that in the morning I was going to call him and tell him that it was impossible for me to do what he wanted.   I remembered what my younger brother Malusi had told me, that there are places where you can hire almost anything you need... then I took my chances and made a

Every song started with a word, every tree with a seed, every journey with one step.... We all  have big dreams, like high paying jobs, write beautiful music, big businesses, but very we all want to start big, we even have a saying that says " Go Big or Go Home"... There is nothing wrong with that saying but sometimes we miss little things that make a big dream come true, we want to become Vara Wang in a day, we want to build Rome in a day, we forget that to achieve a bigger dream you must work your way up. I remember I decided to make my own wedding dress. So I took it to a lady who has been in the business for quite sometime. She told me that I should start by making matric dance dresses before I start thinking about wedding gowns, she made me try one of her dresses  so that I can see how the dress is supposed to look like. She never told me what to work on or change, but to hire a dress from her and then keep on practicing my dress making skills. I kept quite, I felt

I don't know but it looks like my soul is re-falling in love... Recently when I type on this blog the only thing that comes to my mind is Love.... I know some will be turned off because we are a generation that has given up on love that doesn't believe it exist, some even think no one knows what love is, so since we all don't know it, how can  we even begin writing or saying anything about   love? Those I have a privilege to know personally, they know how much I believe in love, how it puts a smile on my face, how it brings light in my life and how it warms my heart. Yes I love " Love", I know sometimes it doesn't feel as warm as I would want it, but I still give all, to experience it. My Spiritual father usually say that the Bible is a love story about "How God lost His lover and how He got Her back". Although I don't have much of an insight as he has in relation to that theory, but in the Bible I have learnt so much about Love, in all its

Last night I attended a couples seminar in my church, I was with a friend of mine, and just before anything was said, my Mfundisi quoted these words, not from the Bible but from Myles Munroe " "When the purpose is not known the abuse is inventible" ... so he asked everyone to tell everyone why they got married . We laughed, but when you listen to about 100 people telling why they got married, most of us said Love, was the main reason, some having children, some said sex and we laughed but the truth was that it was the reason why wanted to get married. You  could hear even in their voices thatthey were speaking about something very close to their hearts their first love..... So when we were all done telling our reasons then we were asked what then changed. Why the some want to live those are with? did people fall out of love, or did those we love change...  So this made me relies that marriage relationship in particular is like our dreams, we fall in love with a ce

I am not a Poet …if I was, Would consult the most precious archives of my heart, Where all my loving, soothing and caring words are hidden, Would pick up those, never been told to any one, As that is how you have touched my life…. Would write you a Love poem, Would recite it in front of the masses, but Only you   would understand it, as it would be from A special place in my heart, Where only you have been I am not an Angel … if I was, I would ask God,  T o bless everything you bless,  T o protect you against any harm,  T o bring a smile on your face each and every morning,  T o give you a reason to wake up,  T o make your winters very short so that you can embrace your summers,  T o take you places where you thought you’ll never be,  T o show you what I see in you,   I am not a Winner ...if I was, I would have, Won your favour first day you lay your eyes on me, Won your smile first time your eyes met my eyes, Won your friendship first time you heard my voice,
